This cross-sectional study in the *Journal of Voice* investigated how heated tobacco products (HTPs) and conventional cigarettes affect voice function and nasal mucociliary clearance. Researchers compared users of HTPs, cigarette smokers, and non-users across multiple dimensions of these physiological processes. The findings offer crucial insights for clinicians assessing individuals who use tobacco products. Understanding the comparative impacts of HTPs versus traditional cigarettes on vocal and airway function is vital for comprehensive patient evaluation and may inform discussions about health risks associated with different nicotine delivery systems.
